Well we all know if it has **** or tires it's gona cost you. I am wondering if it is of any real value to buy an anniversary edition.

 

Which anniversary? They come out with one every 5 years.

 

100 year 2003

 

Yes if you can find a 1904 model 1st anniversary model they hold thier value. If you are talking 100 or 105 nada and the colors were bad besides.

 

100th, no.

H-D extended the production run to 15 months with over 400,000 "anniversary models" sold.

I've only seen a few 50th anniversary bikes ( 1954) which had the fender medallion- but no real value is placed on a 54 over a 53 or 55.- the medallion is a nice conversation starter.


anything marketed as a 'collectable" is not.

Dealer in the area took the 08 anniversary models in the black and gold and put 4-5k custom paint jobs on, they looked a lot better.

 

In one word...NO. You would think if any anniversary model would hold value it would be the 100 yr model. Yet i see the 2003 models discounted and advertised for the near the same price as 02-04 models. If the anniversary models were rare it would be a different story. Fortunately, HD produced a gluten of them, so they are a dime a dozen.

 

I don't know how many they made , but, all my friends who went to the 100th in Milwaukee said that the 100 anniversary bikes were on every street corner. Too bad about that but I don't think they will ever be collectors items!

 

I've never seen any extra value in anniversary year bikes.

 

why would anybody pay extra for an old bike? all it is, is just another old bike. who cares what year harley started? the question is how much longer will they build an air cooled motor? that last year will be worth something...to people who care about such crap.
